Cellardoorscore recently completed it’s second visit to New Zealands’ Waiheke Island, also referred to as "the Wine Island", and it was as fantastic as we remembered! The island is home to over 20 cellar doors and while historically best known for it's Bordeaux-style blends, is becoming increasingly known for its Syrah and Chardonnay, whilst also offering a surprisingly extensive range of other wine varietals. There is a great mix of cellar doors on the Island, which are very much geared towards enjoying the amazing views, with many of the tastings conducted outdoors. Many also have food offerings, including some very well regarded fine dining restaurants, so they make a great place to while away the sunny Island days. Congratulations to Te Whau who received a "Hidden Gem" award, as well as the cellar doors who received awards during our previous visitCheck out our overview of Waiheke at http://www.cellardoorscore.com/ and our detailed reviews of all of the cellar doors visited at http://www.cellardoorscore.com/waiheke-island.html​
